GRACANICA
The
Monastery Gracanica is 13 km south of Pristina, in Kosovo polje (plain).
The fine arrangement of architectural masses, their step-like narrowing
as they rise, the red and yellow stone used – combine to produce a
very harmonious construction, regarded as the most beautiful structure in
the early Serbian architecture.
The frescoes at Gracanica, perfectly preserved, belong to the narrative,
or Paleologian style, characteristic of the Byzantine painting in the first
half of the 14th century.
